Naira Among Worst Performing Global Currencies In 2016 by Truth234(m): 5:48am On Dec 30, 2016 |
The Nigerian naira has been listed as one of the world’s worst performing currencies in 2016, according to a report compiled by Bloomberg LP. The naira was said to have lost 36.68 percent of its spot returns for the year, while the Egyptian pound, Suriname dollar and Venezuela bolivar’s currency spot returns dropped by 58.84 per cent, 46.68 per cent and 37 per cent, respectively, for the period. The Nigerian equity market fared worst in the year, according to the report, as the nation’s economy is set to contract in 2016 for the first time in more than 20 years as capital controls deter foreigners from investing and militants are blowing up pipelines. The five best performing currencies of the world are the Russian ruble, Brazilian real, the palladium, the Iceland krona, and silver, which appreciated by 21.31 per cent, 20.96 per cent, 20.08 per cent, 14.42 per cent and 14.41 per cent, respectively, in terms of spot returns. Two Africa currencies, the Zambian kwacha and South African rand, emerged as the sixth and seventh best performing currencies of the world. The kwacha and rand appreciated by 11.96 per cent and 11 per cent respectively. The report stated, “It was a particularly bad year for any currency called the ‘pound’. The Egyptian version was the worst performer in 2016 as the nation took the dramatic step of allowing it to trade freely in an attempt to stabilise an economy struggling with a dollar shortage and concerns over social unrest. Britain’s pound tumbled after the Brexit and never recovered.” On the other side of the spectrum, digital currency, bitcoin, was the best performer this year, rising more than 100 percent as capital controls in places like China and isolationist rumblings in the United Kingdom and the United States fuelled interest in alternate currencies, according to the report. It added, “When it comes to currencies issued by governments and central banks, the Russian ruble has been the best performer of the year as the oil market rebounded. “While the UK currency’s slide didn’t match those in some emerging markets, it did tally the worst performance among major currencies.” Despite recent unrest, Brazil’s Ibovespa stock index remained the best performer for 2016 when looking at all indices in terms of the US dollar, the report noted, stating that this was largely due to hopes that President Michel Temer, who took office after Dilma Rousseff was impeached, would end the worst recession in a century and bring about political stability. http://investorsking.com/naira-among-worst-performing-global-currencies-in-2016/ 1 Like 1 Share |

Gosh can the kids above , leave the arena. This country seriously needs technical intellectualism or else the naira will keep falling. And by intellects I mean technologists. As far as Nigeria keeps buying more than it sells, the naira will keep staying low. Also those criminals in the Name of politicians and government officials should please stop mopping up available dollars, to bank outside Let's be patriotic for once. 7 Likes |

This is just a period. By the end of next year almost 90% of what we are importing will be produced here and there will be less demand for dollar. Look at the homegrown food program even though it is still a bit expensive people are going into farming big time. The same will apply to manufacturing 1 Like |
